Washington Commanders Coach Dan Quinn announced Wednesday that quarterback Jayden Daniels has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s road game against the New York Giants. For the seventh time this season, Marcus Mariota will start in his place.
Daniels was knocked out of the Commanders’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday after getting blocked on an interception return and landing on his left elbow, which he dislocated against the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 2.
“[There were] no structural setbacks,” Quinn...

Both teams approached the Week 14 match between the Commanders and Vikings badly in need of a get-right win. The mood on Hogs Haven was upbeat, with Jayden Daniels’ first start since Week 9 headlining a list of starters recently returning from injury. A week after taking the second-seed Denver Broncos to an overtime nail-biter, it might have felt like Washington had the advantage, even on the road.
That just goes to show that a 3-9 team on a seven-game losing streak can’t take any games for granted. Who knew?
With the 0-31 blowout loss to the previously struggling Minnesota...

The Washington Commanders held their first full practice of the week today. Dan Quinn announced that Jayden Daniels won’t play against vs the Giants on Sunday. Last week was his first game back since dislocating his left elbow vs the Seahawks in Week 9. He reaggravated the injury when he was shoved to the ground while trying to chase the Vikings’ defender that just picked him off. Quinn said he is week-to-week, and Marcus Mariota gets another start. Daniels was limited in practice today.
Two players have been added to this week’s report with new injuries. CB Jonathan Jones (rib)...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before Washington Commanders practice. He said that Jayden Daniels won’t play on Sunday when the team visits the New York Giants. He aggravated the left elbow injury that cause him to missed three games. He was chasing down a Vikings defender who had just intercepted him, when he was shoved to the ground, landing on his left side. Quinn said there are no structural setbacks, but the doctors advised him to sit this week out.

The Washington Commanders have placed another starter on injured reserve. Zach Ertz suffered a torn ACL in last week’s shutout loss, and will miss the final four games. He is a pending free agent, but at 35 years-old, could call it a career after a major injury late in his 13th season. Dan Quinn confirmed the injury on Monday, and the team has now made it official. Ertz joined the Commanders last year, and played in 33 games, including three in the playoffs last season.
Ertz has been the clear #1 TE since joining the team, but Washington will now...

The Commanders’ fan base is passionate and loyal beyond all comprehension to a franchise that, for three decades, did nothing but bring shame and embarrassment to the team, and to the region. A magical 2024 alleviated a lot of that pain and suffering. But, 2025 has been a dreadful sequel. “Jaws: The Revenge”- level awful.* If you rock the burgundy and gold, you have a right to be profoundly disappointed.
But. Some of y’all — not all, but...

Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown finally returned to action this past week against Minnesota after missing time with a groin/knee injury since Week 2. With Brown’s return, there are outside questions surrounding his future with Washington along with the emergence of former first-round pick Treylon Burks.
Burks returned two weeks ago against Denver after missing one game due to a finger injury which required surgery, and immediately made an impact with an unbelievable one-handed touchdown catch (with his recently injured finger) in the back of the end-zone.
Comparatively, Brown will be 30 years old at the start of next season,...

When the Commanders, who are officially eliminated from playoff contention at 3-10, look ahead to 2026, they probably will need to field a roster that can lighten Daniels’s burden. The quarterback certainly has work to do to improve at protecting himself — this was his third straight game that he was knocked out of — but the Commanders seem to be asking him to do too much. Otherwise, it would be easier for him to be more risk averse.
The defense...
